It's almost unbelievable... Conservatives in Alberta are turning over public health care to private company "Covenant Health," an anti-choice religious institution that will deny emergency contraception and abortions. This will take us back decades - putting lives at risk. Conservatives will never stop trying to control women's bodies and block reproductive rights. Together, we must fight back.

"Journalists do not have to be loyal to anyone, support anyone or be enemies of anyone. If we really have someone to be loyal to, it will be the public &only the public because we believe in freedom of the press&freedom of speech" -Stand News ex-editor Patrick Lam/ht @hkchrislau

I'm so grateful for the 300 signatures on the petition calling on WSJ to reinstate me, org'd by @IAPE1096 & supported by the @newsguild. Thank you. I hope WSJ will respond. The press is stronger when their reporters can join unions. The right to unionize is a basic human right.

When Canadian Paralympians win medals in Paris they'll be financially rewarded for the first time in history. $20,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver, $10,000 for bronze. It's equal to the amount Canadian Olympians receive. My story from earlier this year: cbc.ca/sports/paralympics/pa…

On this day, in 1991, Ukraine became a free, independent nation — and it will remain one. Slava Ukraini! #UkrainianIndependenceDay @ZelenskyyUa

WATCH: As Vice President Kamala Harris accepted the Democratic presidential nomination at the DNC, @JudyWoodruff remembered when PBS News Hour's Gwen Ifill described Harris as someone to watch back in 2009.

Farewell. I joined Jack Dorsey’s Twitter in December 2008. I have enjoyed virtually every Twitter-minute in the subsequent 15 years. But the time has come to say goodbye. I cannot allow myself to be in any way connected to an Elon Musk venture. Musk’s vigorous support for a 34-time convicted felon aiming to reclaim the White House is a [loooong] [loooong] bridge too far. Hence my departure. My very best wishes to all of you who have been part of my “Twitter family”❤️❤️❤️

99-year-old former Nazi secretary Irmgard F. lost an appeal against her conviction for complicity in the murder of more than 10,000 people at Stutthof concentration camp. Germany's top criminal court said her work as the camp commandant's only typist "was of central importance."

President Biden wiping away tears tonight as his daughter Ashley Biden hugs him on stage at the DNC after introducing him. Very emotional moment as thousands stand on their feet and cheer, “We love Joe.”

You have to have gone through hell a thousand times to be able to write like this

As a Jew on the political left, I am demanding my country not abuse my people as pawns to justify the Western/Israeli genocidal campaign against Palestinians. I know many Jews seeking peace & liberation yet they are arrested en masse holding hands singing prayers for Palestinians

The ATP should be embarrassed, the umpire should be embarrassed, Jack Draper should be humiliated and will wear this for a long time, and Felix is one of the classiest players I have ever seen.

Our current approach to outbreak control is panic followed by complacency. But outbreaks do not begin or end based on whether wealthy countries care about them. For real progress, we need sustained efforts against emergent viruses, not half-assed acute phases of fear & neglect.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈 SUMMER Canadian swimming superstar 🇨🇦 Summer McIntosh turns 18 years old today. Three weeks ago she won her third Olympic gold and fourth medal at Paris 2024. The only Canadian athlete to win three golds at one Games. Happy birthday @summermcintoshh.

Canada’s Felix Auger-Aliassime has shown us a masterclass of #sportsmanship and I don't know if I would be 1/10 as graceful as him in moment like this.
